• Latest Update - Our new online investment platform is coming soon. We’re changing the way New Zealanders invest with our new platform, Jarden Direct. To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll be granting clients access to the new platform in waves. We’ll notify you by email when it’s your turn to set up your account and send full instructions at that time. (And if you see a tile at top right inviting you to transfer to Jarden Direct, then it’s time to get started)

W-8IMY form Instructions

  1. We cannot accept a “W” form that has been corrected by hand or corrective substances (twink, white-out etc). If any corrections need to be made to your form, you must start over and complete a new copy of the form.
  2. When completing a W-9 form, please ensure you write the date as Month DD YYYY (e.g. January 1 2000) to avoid confusion between American and New Zealand date formatting.
  3. When completing a W-9 form, if you have changed your surname, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, you should enter your first name, the surname name shown on your social security card and your new surname. You should then circle the parts of your name that are associated with your social security number (your first name and your previous surname).
  4. While revocation of US citizenship documents provide useful insights into your current status, we still need a W-8BEN to be completed by those who have previous connections to the US.
  5. We will not accept any "W" form that has been signed and dated more than 3 months prior to the date that the details of the form are recorded in our system.
